I think this is because the primary use case of gemini is google search overview and the gemini app. thats probably 98% of gemini tokens. they didnt predict how important agentic coding would become.

wow thats actually pretty sick, ty, I could use this in the app im building

the 3.5 pro pretrain was a complete disaster, they shelved it and are now working on gemini 4. 3.0 flash -> 3.8 flash is all post training which is pretty impressive.
